Joshua Strange, a colored youth, wad
in a festiVe mood last= Sunday evening;
And in the course of his 'matinderings
entered the. African Church Boyle
street, . Allegheny. The Occasion, time
and place should have been sufficient to
tone Joshua's hilarity down to, at least,
a moderate cheerfulness, but such seems
not to have been the case. *Once inside,
his first objective point was the gas
chandelier in the yeatibule, at which he
attempted in vain to light a -venerable
moors(' mum. By this time an, official
became cognizant of his presence, and
blandly insinuated that a walk in the
open ai - might be beneticial, but this gen-
Ale intimation to retire had not
the desired , offect,; .and evoked
an artistic, though rather boister
ous vocal exercise, in which the per
former rhythmically exOressed his in
tention of remaining until morning—"t
till appear." , lie aud
'denly chanced his mind, however, and
withdrew, in a somewhat demoralized
anti precipitate manner, influenced in a
great measure by several members of
tha church, who failed to appreciate the
sweetness and sentiment of his vocalize=
tlons. Subsequently they consulted
with Mayor Drum, and as a result, John
' was compelled to pay a fine . of five dol
' hire last evening for his little eccentric
ity. He can't understand and thinks it
a strange proceeding throughout.
Prospects of the Oil Market
YesterdAy ire had a letter shown to us,
under date of Slat ult., written by a
prominent oil firm in the oil regions to a
friend of their's. They give their views
of the market'and production, &c., based
upon facts of personal observation. They
say:
, "Some time since we all looked for a
'Mutat production during this year, and
consequently high prices; but to the con
trary we have had a larger production
for the same period of 18.69 than in 1868,
and our present prospects are, that we
will produce fully• 1,800 to 2,000 barrels
per day for the balance of 1869 over, the
same period or 1868. Four dollars per
barrel pays , largely to a producer, and
demonstrates the fact that small wells
and many of them produce a great deal
of oil, and we have now a flattering pros
pect at and between Shamburgh and
Pleasantville, ,and below Pleasantville
andd - Pit Hole, on Cherry Tree Run, &rub
Grails, and' on tho Niles Farm, bear the
old Neyhart Farm. We fully believe
them to be good for 1.500 bbls Inside of
sixty days. Take these things with the
fact that we have exported inure relined
oil in 1869 that in 1868, during the Same.
period without creating any scarcity, but
to the contrary an increase of stock, we
cannot help but feel that 1869 will have
its three dollar oil as well as any other
year, and would not advise to buy a bar- .
rel 'more than is actually needed from
day to day.," „ _ -

The Suicide at the House of Refuge. -
In the.GAzzrrE of yesterday we stated
that r a boy, an inmate of the House of
Refuge, had committee suicide Tuesday
evening, but were unable to give any
particulars, Coroner - Clawson was noti
fied'and held an inc nest on the body yes
terday, when the tollowing facts trans
pired: The, “victim of his own rash.
nesis" was Alfred Henry, a youth about
seventeen years of age, who was sent to
the House of Refuge from Beaver county
abOut two months since, at the instance
of his parents, for incorrigibility. Tues
day morning he made an attack upon
ono of the instructors or wardens of the
estahlishment with a shovel, for which
he was placed in the cell where he ter
minated his existence, about half-past
five o'clock, by taking the sheet from
the bed, fastening one en of it to the bar
across the upper portion of the window,
then getting up in the window he fas
tened the other end round his neck 'with
a noose, and jumped down. Life was en
tirely extinct when the body was dia.
Covered. The jury returned a verdict in
accordance with the facts.
Couldn't Collect It
Honors, Price, residing on lfifth avenue,
Third ward, started out in good spirits
yesterday morning to collect a little ac
count, but returned unsuccessful and
disappointed, like many a collector be
fore, her. Honora'slll success is thus ex
plaitted: Her husband, she states, was
in the employ of John Snyder, but loft a
short time since without having his as j
count squared. ' According to his eaten- I
lation a, small amount was due
him, and it was this that she
was commissioned to eecure. She
waited upon Mr. Snyder, stated the case.
and was astonished when informed that/
everything had been settled at the pro.
per time. Persisting in her demands,
and refusing to leave, the end of the con
ference found her ejected from the prem
ises. She then repaired to Alderman
Lynch's office and made information for
assault and battery against Snyder. He
was arrested shortly afterward.and gave
bail for a hearing.

oblivious to terr trial things, was per
suaded by his friero to leave his pocket
book, containing fifty dollars, in the
hands of the saloon-keeper for safe keep
ing. until they should return in the
evening. True to the arrangement, one
of the men called in the evening, se
cured the pocketbook and went off, lie

During a thunderstorm at Eddyville,
Ulster county, New York, Saturday .
morning, Mily 15th, the lightning struck

fore the flames could be subdued, five
barns, two Stores '
and a storehouse, and
the building's and way of a shipyard, to.
gether with a boat, were destroyed.

It is Selddm that we use the columns
of this' paper to "puff" or notice - the
'•thousand and one" artieles known as
~ Patent Medicines." We, however,
vary from our rule in the present case,
that we may call attention to the article
known as I.s. T.-1860—x.., Plantation
Bitters.". We desire it understood that
we do so without any solicitation or
promise of benefit from the proprietor or
other interested parties, We simply do
it as an act if duty towards 'those who
are laboring under physical disabilities,
weakness, and the various complaints
arising from -impurities of the blood.
Having used the Bitters at the instiga
tion of a frland, (and. we confess, with
some misgivings at the out set.). we
found them a most valuable medical
cornpound,!and to our great satisfaction,
accomplished the object for which they
were used.

Onus is not the only nation which pays
roundly for small services or none at all.
In England there are scores of personsin
the pay of.the Foreign. Office at high sal-`
aries, who have not done a day's service
'in twenty years. One man; wholes ro.
celved $270,080, has not been consulted
since 1854; another, wholasilved in ab. ,
solute idleness for forty-four years, has
received i $150,000. There are, numerous
cases of this kind. A. man, ever so clever.
and useful is set aside, by some Foreign ,
Secretary, perhaps for a relative:or favor%
its of his own,;and goes ,upon‘ the:retire&
list when 80 years old, and fixes till 80,i
receiving from 15,000 tie 10,000 a year .to
live where he likes—fifty, years enjoying
his otium sum digni.ate at the expense of
people Who work very hard and stamen
little at limes to pay their rates :and taxes..

Life iterate in England.
The British House of Lords, after I
great deal of hesitation, has agreed ,to the
second reading of a bill for the infusion
of new blood into the House of Peers, by
the creation of twenty-eight life peers
that is to say, the appointment of that
number of gentlemen by the Prime Min
ister to sit during life in ,the British Sen
ate; and the speedy passage of the bill
through both.llouses of Parliament may
be regarded as a certainty. Seven years
must elapse before the whole number of
the new ISe4iators can be appointed. The
twenty-eight new peers are to be selected
from six classes: first, Scotch or Irish
peers who have not at presebt seats in
the HouSe of Lords; second, • persons
who have been members of the House of
Commons for ten years; third, officers of
the army and navy; fourth, persons who
have held high judicial offices; fifth, ex
civil servants of the crown;. sixth, per
sons distinguished in the arts and sciences.
This bill will establish ctn. important
Principle in English Government—that of
_a Representative Senate instead of a
hereditary Legislature, and will pave the
way for the total abolition of hereditary
leg.islators, or for swamping them by the
addition to. their numbers of *majority
of repre sentative men. ,Mr. Gladstone,
if he remains in power six years, 'will
have the privilege-of strengthening hfin
self, and his party, under this bill, by the•
addition. of twenty members to the Lib
eralside of the House of Lords.
RHODE ISLAND'S postßonement of
action on the XVth Article is connected
with the wars of Sprague and Anthony,
Senator Anthony is reported - to, have
- Worked hard and openly to defOtt the
Amendment. The ground upon Which
professed Republicans base their opposi
tion to the Amendment seems a foolish
one. Rhode Island exacts a property
qualification in naturalized voters. The
Constitutional, Amendment providing
that no man shall be deprived of the
privilege of voting "on account of race,
color, or prey haus condition 01 . servitude,"
would compel us, say the followers of
'Senator Anthony, to admit foreigners
without any such qualification, and moet
of them would vote Tor Sprague. This is
a curious misunderitanding of language.
Are Europeans of & different race from
ourselves, or only of different nation?
Te timid Republicans might as well do
the thing handsomely while they are .
about i 4 and argue that the same clause
would-oblige us to admit aliens to the
- sufrage without the qualif=tion of five
years' residence.
